S Smith was up from Madison to lool the machine over and the Norfoll street committee has been looking ii ] the qualities of the machine. Sovora of the now road machines may bi brought to Madison county. The cos Is a llttlo over $100. Most of the moi who saw the machine work In Noi folk were well satisfied with it , It hav t Ing the advantage over the King lei i- drag of being adapted to hard ground L. M. BEELER TELLS OF A TUBERCULAR - CULAR COW. THE PUDLIC NEEDS PROTECTION Mr. Bcelcr Endorses The News' Ap peals to the City Council to Provide Local Meat and Dairy Inspection. Perils ol Tuberculoslo , L. M. Boolcr of thin city heartily endorses the appeal of The News to the Norfolk oily council with regard to the establishment of a local meat and dairy Inspection for the protection of the public. And Mr. Heeler's en dorsement carries peculiar weight be cause of an experience which ho had In Norfolk some years ago with a tu bercular cow. For a time his family drank the diseased animal's milk and ho rcaU7.cn the great benefit which would accrue to the people of Norfolk by the establishment of Inspection protection. Four years ago Mr. Heeler bought a dairy cow. The animal had a slight cough at the time of purchase and the cough showed no signs of Improve ment as time wore on. Other symp toms wore noted , apparently symp toms of a cold In the head. Mean while the animal gave apparently good milk and the milk was used In the Heeler homo on North Ninth street. Hut feeling uneasy Mr. Heeler had a tubercular test made. The test cost about fifty cents. It was demonstrat ed that the cow was suffering from consumption. For Self Protection. For the protection of his family , Mr. Beelor hired a man to kill the cow ml bury the carcass. Ho paid the Ire for the killing and personally ipervlscd the burial so as to bo sure mt the meat would not bo eaten. ho value of the cow was a dead loss o Mr. Booler , but ho preferred to sus- aln the loss than to run tubercular sks. In speaking with other people about own Mr. Becler discovered that tu- lorcular symptoms In cows were not ncommon but that on the contrary 10 disease was evidently quite goner- 1 , and not only In Norfolk but In the urroundlng country. In other words ullk from tubercular cows was being onsnmod In a large number of homes 11 and about Norfolk. How Many Cases of Tuberculosis ? How many oases of tuberculosis moiig Norfolk people have sprung up Ithin the past four years as a direct esult of the disease among those an- mats ? That is a question which na- .urally arises when It becomes known hat the diseased milk was used and .hat a number of victims have sue- umhed to the disease In this city , low many graves In Prospect Hill emetery are filled by reason of those ubercular cows ? That Is a question 'or Norfolk to ponder. In some small towns local dairy and neat inspection Is provided. Mr. feeler believes that such inspection hould bo provided by the Norfolk ity council for the protection of Nor- 'oik people. It would work no hard- hip to any persons excepting those , vho are now unfortunate enough to wn tubercular cattle. And these an- mals , for their owners' own protec- Ion , ought to bo killed. Might Pay Part Loss. It Is quite probable that Dr. J. C. Myers , veterinarian , could be induced o accept the position of Inspector in Norfolk. The cost of inspection would irobably be borne by the Institution nspected , but that cost would be In- Ignlficant , particularly when com- lared with the public health. Butch- irs who slaughtered a tubercular anl- nal would not bo compelled to pay 'or the same when postmortem In- pectlon brought out the disease. And Mr. Beeler suggests that the city might oven pay a certain percentage of the aluo of a diseased animal to the nvners as a part compensation for he loss sustained when the city killed he beast. Mr. Beeler says that The News' ap peals in this direction are on the right road and to the point ; he has had ex perience and ho believes that Nor- 'oik's protection demands such inspec tion.

CHICAGO GIRLS KNEW COLOR The Chicago Negro Gambling King , Who Had Withstood Criticisms of Himself In Papers , Went All the Way to New York to Defend Sister. Now York , July 30. A Chicago lie- ; ro who had never complained over he criticism of himself in the news- tapers of the country , cared enough about an injustice to a member of his 'amlly to come to New York to set her ight before the reading public. "John V. Johnson of Chicago wishes 0 &ee the gentleman who wrote the story about his sister , " announced the attendant at the door of a local "news- > aper. "I have come over from Chicago , " said "Mushmouth , " sometimes known as the negro gambling king of Chica go , "to ask you to do an act of justice .o a little lady whose feelings have jeen unintentionally hurt I know , lmt the story had no personal animos- ty , but just seemed probable and unique. Isn't that true ? " "Perhaps so , " was the answer , "but what was it about ? " "Why , that my sister , Cecilia John son , while a student at the University of Chicago , deceived her classmates and teachers Into thinking she was of pure white extraction instead of col orcd and that under cover of that de- celt had made her way Into the very best society at the university. "Now , I want to tell you that this little sister of mine , who Is twenty-two years old and who does happen to be beautiful and of a peaches and cream complexion , never had a particle of deceit in her heart from the time that she used to climb into my lap when 1 came homo tired after a hard day's" work , when she was a baby in arms , to the time she was beloved by the young ladles of the Englewood sorority ity in the University of Chicago. "Sho never claimed to be white. She never In her life was ashamed of her race or her color or her family. From the time that she entered the primary schools in Chicago walking to school In , her llttlo pinafore , with her books and lunch , she was treated by the white girls with the utmost kindness and gentleness. We lived in a good white neighborhood and no color line was ever drawn against her. The white girls came to our house and she went to theirs and everyone know that she was colored and everyone , I might add , loved our colored mammy because of her goodness of heart" ERIE PRESIDENT SAYS NO. Heads Off Movement for 2-Cent Inter state Rates In the East. Fred D. Underwood , president of the Erie railroad , has headed off the move ment to give the people In all the ter ritory east of Chicago a 2-cent Inter state passenger rate to the seaboard At a conference held in Mar. Under wood's office the Wabash representa tive was induced to withdraw the no tlco to the effect that his line would uako 2-cent interstate rates In its east ern territory. When the Wabash notice was pro- nulgatcd It spread consternation imong eastern railway presidents. The Wabash Is the only road which ms a mileage both cast and west of Chicago , and it therefore belongs to ho associations in both territories. It therefore Is compelled to submit to llfferent legislation for each portion ) f its system. Several years ago the Wabash Insisted that differential fares should be granted In the west. This > lan was , however , abandoned after the presidents took the case In hand. The Wabash now finds Itself male- ng 2-cent Interstate rates in the ter ritory west of Chicago and 2V6 and sometimes 3 cents cast. This caused the order for the uniform rates. Mr. Underwood then quickly called : hc conference. Apparently the Wa- iash was Induced to regard Its move as an.error , as announcement Is made .hat the present interstate rates will remain undisturbed. The only excop- ; lon to this will be In cases where the through rates In the east exceed the sums of the local state rates. These liffcrences will be eradicated and the new rates will bo presented to a meet- ng of the Central Passenger associa tion to bo held In September. For North and South Line.
